Kalimantan. Methods of data collection was done by using observation,
interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and document review. While the
method of analysis was done with explanatory forms of natural resource use by
communities and SWOT analysis for the determination of strategy.
The results of studies on the utilization patterns showed that people use natural
resources in the form of fishery, agriculture, agro forestry, forest products and
wildlife. Natural resources is taken from inside and outside the region NPS.
Especially for in NPS, each village has a percentage of the community under
study and different types of resources. The difference was mainly influenced by
ethnic background which led to differences in the main livelihood.
SWOT analysis is based on natural resource use patterns of each village. To the
Village Baun Bango and Tumbang Runen with the majority population of
fishermen and fishing inside and outside the region, the SWOT analysis produces
special zoning strategy and the establishment of conservation village. While the
Village Sebangau Permai with the majority of farming population outside the
region, the strategy is community empowerment in agriculture (including
plantation and fisheries) and community involvement as partners in the
rehabilitation area.
To execute the strategy described above, is necessary to build institutions that can
accommodate the interests of stakeholders in the management of SNP. Institution
that is required is a foundation or forum of SNP collaborative management.
